Come celebrate and support at Lambert Fine Arts Gallery at 57 Stanton Street off Eldridge Street. All proceeds go to taking Nuclear Love Affair around the globe and back again, in their international premier in Prague.

Lambert Fine Arts occupies the unique and quirky landmark Fusion Arts Museum, beautifully reflecting the funky, innovative, and provocative nature of contemporary Urban Arts. With multi-cultural artists using a multi-media approach, the artists and performers at Lambert Fine Arts demonstrate a contemporary sophistication in their use of new media, modern technology, and complex symbolic imagery to engage viewers in a progressive and compelling social critique.

LiveMusicVideo seeks to create a tangential music experience through the deconstruction and re-imagining of the art form of the music video.

THE AMBITION
In an exciting push forward, Built for Collapse has been invited to perform Nuclear Love Affair at the Prague International Fringe Festival this June! So we’re packing up and heading out in 2012 to take the show to Europe. Once we were accepted into the festival this past December, we recognized that this was our chance to really make waves overseas. In the coming months our company will be working hard to secure even more opportunities to perform in Europe this year so that we can really make an impact; not only as a company but also in the promotion of America’s emerging artists and what they care about. Now, as we plan our most ambitious year to date, we need your help more than ever.

OUR PLEDGE
Please help us make this vision a reality. Share this, Tweet this, post us on Facebook and DONATE TODAY! In exchange for your contribution and support, you will receive one-of-a-kind perks as listed to the right, as well as our pledge to use all the resources at our disposal to bring this ‘extraordinary tale of victory, hypocrisy and ignorance’ to the widest possible audience. Look below for a breakdown of how money will be spent. Please note: All IndieGoGo donations will go directly towards the “Travel Costs” portion of our budget. Every gift is deeply appreciated. Every gift makes a difference. Every gift is tax-deductible. From everyone in the Built for Collapse family we extend our sincerest “Thank You!!”

THE SHOW
Starring Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin, Nuclear Love Affair traces the evolution of the American Dream through the social and political chain reaction caused by dropping of the Atomic bomb. Harsh and hysterical, this ‘vision of a world gone wrong’ is ‘an amazing theatrical experience’ that leaves audiences ‘blown away’ (NYTheatre.com).

OUR COMPANY
Built for Collapse is a New York based arts organization dedicated to building multi-disciplinary communal celebrations that apply pressure to traditional theatrical form. Through this process work is created that pushes the limits of what we consider performance and new ways of achieving our artistic vision are discovered. At times an erotic opera, at times a freakish and violent circus, Built for Collapse has been described as a subversive and “creative new approach to theatre.” Built for Collapse was founded by Sanaz Ghajarrahimi and Ben Hobbs in March 2008. Lead Artists: Sanaz Ghajarrahimi, Ben Hobbs, Vincent Santvoord, Emily Brazee, Adam Cochran, Diana Egizi, Eddie Gutierrez, Michael Krass, Sophie Labelle, Room 404 Media (Kate Freer + Dave Tennant), Derek Smith, Jenny Beth Snyder, Elinor Thompson, Colleen Toole and Nicole Weiss.
